I like to think of this site as a virtual art gallery - a place where art freaks, cartoon nutcases, iconoclasts or curmudgeons of all stripes are welcome.

To wander around, please click a button (above) to drop in on my books, political cartoons, drawings, watercolors, acrylics and other ephemera.

And don't forget what the old timers used to say, Ars longa, Bucko, vita brevis!

Thanks for stopping by.

Mike Dater, prop.

P.S I give generous discounts (if you're nice)

Finally available, my latest literary endeavor,

Mr. Obama Goes to Washington

and then what happened Mommy

A look-back at the Obama years.

I know, I know -- No Drama Obama -- but don't forget there was the never ending war with the Republican never ending Nay-sayers, and that Dark Cloud hovering nearby, His Lowness Trump, who started with the Birther thing about half way through Obama's presidency tainting the last two years with toxic hate. And don't forget the racism which infused the entire eight years, thanks to the Republican goon squad who never, it seems, sleeps. In other words there was, to say the least, more than a little drama after all.

Plenty of cartoonery, of course, as well as the usual irreverent commentary.

George W, The Son King is a short history of the Son King's catastrophic mess in political cartoons cum commentary; essentially equal parts critique, history, lampoon and indictment of Bush & Co. and its egregious mugging of America. Most of the cartoons in the book first appeared in the feisty The New Hampshire Gazette. The pithy insights accompanying the illustrations are all new.

The nitty-gritty: paperback, about 196 pages, $15.95 plus $4.00 shipping and handling (about the price of a large pizza, but a lot healthier).

The Son Also Sets is continuation and a blessed wrap-up of the Great Dark Age we all lived through under the direction on Fort Bush. Like its predecessor, George W, The Son King, it is a compilation of cartoons and wise-assery. (To order, please see the notes for George W, The Son King or click the buttons on the top of the page. Thanks)

The Nitty-gritty - paperback, $11.95, 130 pages, $4.00 for shipping and handling, plus one or two typos thrown in for free.
